*The New York Times Book Review called BBG's handbook series a "brilliant
collection of little gardening handbooks…Each one takes a small bit of
subject matter and chews it thoroughly. The mix of common sense, practical
advice and, on occasion, pointed debunking….makes these slender volumes do
the works of books twice their size and three times their price. And what
the handbooks lack in acreage, they make up in authority."*
